PHIL JAGIELKA is hoping to send John Terry and Rio Ferdinand into international exile.

And a former manager believes he can do it by using World Cup winning skipper Bobby Moore as an example!

Jagielka produced an excellent performance on Friday in only his fourth international start in England’s opening European Championship qualifier against Bulgaria – and Fabio Capello confirmed yesterday that he will earn his sixth cap tonight in Switzerland, describing him as “the driver of the back four”.

Despite his lack of international experience, and losing defensive partner Paul Dawson to injury after an hour, Jagielka came through confidently.

And he was just as bullish when he spoke about his future England prospects.

He declared: “It’s always hard to displace players like JT (Terry) and Rio. But I would like to think I can.

“If Rio and JT come back fit for the next squad and they are in form and they get picked, they are not bad players to be behind.

“But I’d like to put real pressure on them, that’s what it’s all about and I’m sure the manager wants that as well.

“The manager has always said he wants to pick form players, so if I can keep playing international football and keep keeping clean sheets then, hopefully, it cranks up the pressure a bit.”

The 28-year-old has been backed to achieve his aim by Neil Warnock, the man who developed him as a young professional at Sheffield United.

“I think it will be who plays with Jagielka in the years to come,” declared the current QPR manager. “I thought he should have gone to the World Cup.

“ I still don’t understand why he didn’t go. He’ll only get better – he’ll be a regular.

Then Warnock explained how Jagielka has already taken a leaf out of English legend Bobby Moore’s book.

“We worked on his strength in that department,” Warnock added when asked about Jagielka’s pace. “His recovery is his best part. If you watch his timing he anticipates it. He very rarely gets done for pace because of his anticipation.

“I never used to think Bobby Moore was quick but he never got himself in a situation where he got exposed.”

“We’ve got the win against Bulgaria now, which takes some pressure off, but we will go to Switzerland with the same mentality. We want to go and win that and qualify in style again. “The Bulgaria game will give the England fans and everybody connected with the team something to look forward to with this qualifying campaign.

“I was definitely surprised to get a chance against Bulgaria, especially as we had quite a few other options there.

“I was absolutely delighted when the manager named the team. I’ve started two games in a row now. It’s a first for me and, hopefully, I will keep going. We were a little bit nervous before the Bulgaria game and there was a little bit of pressure.

“We had a fantastic qualifying campaign last year and the boys want to do the same thing this year.

“The manager just said before Bulgaria: ‘You’re a good team, now go out and prove it.”
